Parental presence leave in the public service

What is parental leave?

Parental presence leave is a leave in which you can reduce or stop your professional activity to take care of a dependent child, sick, injured or disabled, who needs your sustained presence and compulsory care.

Who can benefit from parental leave?

Parental absence may be granted to father or mother child.

How do I request parental leave?

You must send a written request to your employer administration, at least 15 days before the start of the leave (or before the end of your current leave in case of a renewal application).

In the event of a sudden deterioration of your child's health or in the event of a crisis situation requiring your immediate presence, this 15-day period does not apply.

Your request for leave must be accompanied by a medical certificate that attests to the severity of your child's illness, accident or disability, and to your need for ongoing care.

This certificate is issued by the doctor who follows your child and specifies the expected duration of the treatment.

How long is parental leave?

Parental absence is granted for the duration of the treatment of your child as defined in the medical certificate (established by the doctor following the child, and attached to the request for leave).

When the child's treatment period is reviewed again, you must send a new medical certificate to your employer authority.

The maximum period of parental leave shall be 310 working days within a 3-year period for the same child and the same pathology.

If you have completed 310 days of leave before the end of the 3-year period, your leave may be renewed 1 time for the same disease, disability or accident which your child suffers for up to 310 days in a new period of 3 years.

The 3-year period is counted from the initial date of the start of your leave.

At the end of a 3-year period, you may be granted a new leave, upon presentation of a new medical certificate, in the following situations:

• New Pathology Affecting Your Child
• Relapse or recurrence of the initially treated disease
• When the severity of your child's illness initially treated always requires your continued presence and mandatory care
